Artist History Don't let his youth fool you --David Aaron is a sophisticated songwriter and musician with skills well beyond his 21 years. This Week in New York describes his blend of Grunge and Power Pop styles as 'wholly original, not derivative mixing elements of Nirvana, U2, and Smashing Pumpkins.' Demouniverse.com hails Aaron's 'appealing melodies, thoughtful lyricism, and solid guitar work.' As a childhood alto saxophone soloist in his native Brooklyn, NY, Aaron explored the power of big band and bebop music in school ensembles. After an epiphany at the now-legendary marathon Pearl Jam concert on Randalls Island in 1996, Aaron switched his focus to the guitar and has been rocking ever since. After playing with various pickup groups through high school, he entered Five Towns College of Music, where he currently studies jazz and recording technology, Aaron has found time in the last 2 years to cut 3 albums in his homemade studio all of which are available on mp3.com: Out of Focus, Outcast City, and Blue. These are textured recodings with layers of guitars as well as his overlaid bass and drum tracks. Highlights include: - The anthemic rocker 'My Stand' with the memorable hook 'They judge me and I judge em back' - 'Your Skin' Aaron's one-man homage to garage bands. The chorus, once heard, will not leave your brain. - 'Sign from Heaven' a stirring tribute to a lost loved one and the ultimate healing that comes from a mature assimilation of the experience. This gem of a song will strike a chord with many in the current emotional climate. - 'Someday' a driving, radio-ready pop song with the killer chorus 'Someday to you means never to me' - 'Freedom' a raw blast of distorted guitar and an insidious chorus worthy of Lenny Kravitz While David Aaron continues to write and record home demos, he is looking to bring his music to a wider audience. Concert dates, radio promotion, and a stronger on-line presence are all currently being planned. Like fellow Brooklyn natives Living Colour, Type O Negative, and Carole King, Aaron has found his own sound, a sound that will resonate and inspire those of his generation as well as anyone who appreciates good songwriting and strong musicianship.

Press Reviews Aaron's throaty drawl is very close in character to Layne Staley of Alice In Chains and his music is similarly downbeat. However, David's primary instrument is acoustic guitar and percussion is largely absent, lending Blue a more sweetly brooding air than the roaring angst AIC was known for. I don't wish to give the impression that this is a derivative work; these songs stand up on their own, helped along by appealing melodies, thoughtful lyricism and solid guitar work. Like its namesake by Joni Mitchell, David Aaron's Blue is a fine pick for rainy days spent in bed. - Demo Universe
